And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
Hebrews 10:26-31
New King James Version
The Just Live by Faith
26 For (A)if we sin willfully (B)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there (C)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and (D)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three (E)witnesses. 29 (F)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, (G)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, (H)and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, (I)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [a]says the Lord. And again, (J)“The Lord will judge His people.” 31 (K)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

20 (C)“The Lord would not spare him; for then (D)the anger of the Lord and (E)His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the Lord (F)would blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord (G)would separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the (H)Law, 22 so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they (I)see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the Lord has laid on it:
23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, (J)salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, (K)like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’ 24 All nations would say, (L)‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ 25 Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; 26 for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. 27 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, (M)to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. 28 And the Lord (N)uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’

The Great Tribulation(A)
14 (B)“So when you see the (C)‘abomination of desolation,’ [a]spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then (D)let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house. 16 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 17 (E)But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18 And pray that your flight may not be in winter. 19 (F)For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be. 20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.
21 (G)“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and (H)wonders to deceive, if possible, even the [b]elect. 23 But (I)take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.
